@Bhaal_Spawn So does that mean Happy Birthday for today? If so, Happy Birthday! If not, you could wait until it is your birthday and then look back at this reply.

Day after day I'm talking to more people who are finding AI genuinely beneficial. I certainly do. Yet still I see many well educated and intelligent people, whose opinion I respect on other matters, who firmly insist there aren't any use cases for it.

At some point, the fact that over a billion people use this technology and that they self-report high utility has to mean something. There is lots to criticize about AI, but the narrative that this is all a fake thing that will disappear doesn't help anyone.

@LydiaJane13 They ordered through Amazon. I don’t mind waiting a bit longer (I’ve always a backlog of books to get through), so if a signed copy was possible that would be great. Just let me know the details. Thanks.

Just taken delivery of another batch of The Invisible Campaign: Bomber Command Gardening Operations 1940-1945. Most are already spoken for - I have only about 4 left if you're after a signed copy. Currently sold out on Amazon/Waterstones. Just DM me or reply to this post. Thanks!

It was 9 years ago today that Bowie left us. Based on what’s happened since, it would seem he was the glue holding the world together.

@Bhaal_Spawn I'm kind of hanging around waiting for the bit when the music stops, they turn the lights on, and tell everyone it's time to go home. I want to see what the carpet looks like.

My wife once had a conversation with another woman at a wedding about the crisps/The Cribs. Neither seem to have realised and both seemed happy with the outcome of the conversation.

Man sits by me on train. MAN: Loads of psychopaths around here ME: Really? MAN: Loads mate ME: How'd you know? MAN: There's signs aren't there? ME: I guess? MAN: I love them (47 minutes of awkward silence.) Man leaves train, he has a bike. I realise he was saying 'cycle paths'.

@Bhaal_Spawn I missed this yesterday. That means I’ve got He-Man and Paddy Considine as birthday buddies. Excellent.

Looking at our menu for next week I got excited when I thought we were having Stealthy Turkey Meatballs. Turns out it’s Healthy Turkey Meatballs. Healthy. What a let down.
